To the community,

The Placer County Sheriff’s Office wants those traveling to beautiful Lake Tahoe for the holidays to bring home good memories, not a parking ticket.

Whether coming up to the mountains from the Bay Area or the Sacramento Valley, the sheriff’s office wants to remind drivers that there is no parking on any county roadway or shoulder of roadways from Nov. 1 to May 1.

This includes roads in Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Northstar and Homewood ski areas.

Vehicles parked in these areas will be ticketed and may be towed. A ticket costs $55.

Roadways must remain clear for the operation of snow removal equipment.

Happy holidays and drive and park safely!

Ed Bonner, Placer County sheriff
